Killers and rapists we should have deported

Britons have been murdered in horrendous ways thanks to our failed asylum system

Last week protestors in Peckham blocked the transfer of asylum seekers from a London hotel to the Bibby Stockholm barge.

They slashed a coach’s wheels and assaulted officers. A total of 45 were arrested by the end.

Demonstrators chanted “no borders, no nations, stop deportations”, among other virtuous-sounding slogans.

The irony is that this is effectively the policy we have in the UK, which has had deadly consequences for Brits (read on to see how).

Of course, there are genuine asylum seekers, who desperately need help and compassion.

But this is all the more reason for the authorities to be able incredibly careful about who arrives in the country and firm when they need to be deported. The most vulnerable can end up in the same accommodation as very dangerous people.

To illustrate this point, here is a list of people the protesters would have indiscriminately defended - who are now in our prisons and psychiatric hospitals:

Cosmin-Nicolae Vasioiu

Nationality: Romanian
Crime: Raped a woman in a cemetery who had been walking home from a night out
Previous convictions: Committed a similar rape while living in Switzerland
Sentence: 18 years in prison
Authority failures:

• Vasioiu didn’t apply for settled status after Brexit and the authorities forgot he was here.

Ahmed Ali Alid

Nationality: Moroccan
Crime: Murdered 70-year-old Terence Carney and attempted to murder his housemate, Javed Nouri, an Iranian asylum. Assaulted an Emergency Worker after attacking two police officers while in custody.
Sentence: Life sentence
Authority failures:

• Alid was denied asylum in Italy, Germany and Spain, but was able to stay in Britain for three years while his asylum claim was processed.

• During those three years he lived in a hotel in Hull followed by state-funded accommodation.

• His housemate Nouri alerted the police and Home Office that Alid was dangerous. He told them that Alid was an “extreme Muslim” who would sit in the kitchen with a knife, and gave him “bad looks” for converting to Christianity.

• Nouri also saw Alid laughing at coverage of the October 7 Hamas attacks.

• The authorities told Nouri that no further action would be taken as Alid had not committed an offence.

2022:

Maher Maaroufe

Nationality: Tunisian
Crime: Stabbed his 19-year-old student girlfriend to death, leaving her almost decapitated. Also pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating an emergency worker.
Sentence: Manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility (schizoaffective disorder)
Sentence: Hospital order without limit of time
Authority failures:

• Maaroufe was served with a deportation notice as an over-stayer on August 14, 2019, but the authorities never made sure that he left the country.

Shahin Darvish-Narenjbon

Nationality: Iranian
Crime: Killed his 87-year-old “surrogate grandmother”, Brenda Blainey, in "circumstances of appalling brutality". Manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
Sentence: Detained indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital

Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai

Nationality: Afghanistan
Crime: Murdered 21-year-old Thomas Roberts
Previous convictions: Murdered two people with a Kalashnikov assault rifle in Serbia
Sentence: Minimum term of 29 years in prison
Authority failures:

• Flagged to the Home Office as a potential terrorist a year earlier - its Prevent anti-terrorism task group told he was “susceptible to terrorism”.

• UK law enforcement authorities didn’t pick up that he was a fugitive from murder charges in Serbia.

• He duped officials into believing he was 14 (six years younger then his actual age at the time of the murder) and placed into foster care.

• Reports suggest police were warned seven times he had been carrying a knife before he murdered 21-year-old Thomas Roberts, who’d acted as a “peacemaker” in an argument between Abdulrahimzai and his friend.

Crime: Slit the throat of Emily Jones, 7, as she played in a park. Manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Put on trial for murder, which she was cleared of.
